vintage EMBROIDERED finds

Just wanted to share my latest scores finds..

They all have one thing in common...

EMBROIDERY

do you remember this little girl

HOLLY HOBBY

Here is another pretty embroidered floral piece

it is 5 x 7 in size and the thread seems a bit thicker, almost yarn like.

Oh and my favorite piece is this sweet terrier dog

embroidered on this sweet pot holder.

I often wonder how this sweet, oh so fragile, pot holder

could have been used to handle something hot. OUCH!

perhaps it was just for decoration.

I think I am so enamored by all these hand stitched items because

I could never do anything so exact or let me rephrase I could never

sit and take the time to make something so precise...But I do envy those that can.

What cool things have you found lately?

I would love to see.

thanks for stopping by  - xo
